Identified flying object

We rarely see the dragonfly
because we stole its home.
Fields are preferred not wet but dry,
so dragonflies don’t roam.

They need a lake, even if small,
for their offspring to live.
The eggs for which they must install
in water without sieve.

Natural ponds provide the place
that many insects need,
of which we seldom find a trace
because of human greed.
